Not an unusual situation. Typical "Classic Car Dealer" who knows a little about all old cars and not a lot about any old car. He believed what he was told by someone who knew no more than him.
Coil is not original, engine color is not correct, rubber fuel line, headlamp wires not routed through shell, modern plug wires, not period correct mounting of TWO tail lamps, mounting of rear fenders looks hokey to me. Was driven 57,000 miles from 1930 to 1935??
It's a nice truck, just probably not what the seller thinks it
is. Asking price was not crazy.

It would be interesting to know what the Roadster Delivery looked like when it was removed from storage and before the repair work was done.
All 1930 Roadster Deliveries were Blue Bell Blue with black fenders and running boards. The 554 manfactured number is incorrect. I have never seen a 30 delivery with wooden spoke wheels. The rear fenders had no braces from the factory and cracks were common.
I own a 1930 Roadster delivery that had been in storage for over 30 years.
